Gender Bias Against Women of Color in Science." She told DiversityInc, "I do think that with the research we’ve done you can certainly see the experiences of women of color in STEM are different than others."

The do's and dont's of the modern resume (infographic)EntrepreneurAlong with glowing references, a solid resume is a must-have for any job applicant. But even those with great credentials need to package those achievements the right way to catch a hiring manager's eyes.
